Potato Soup

Recently, Mari at Once Upon A Plateposted some wonderful tomato soup in the sweetest little "tureens." It turns out that the tureens were actually covered sugar bowls. Mari was kind enough to share the pattern, Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers. I bought some, and they worked perfectly this past weekend when I made potato soup for Mr. Maison and I.

Potato Soup: Saute onions, carrots and celery in olive oil. Then add water and diced potatoes and salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are done, and then add in butter and half and half (I have used regular milk or heavy cream also).

Oh, I need a good potato soup and tomato soup recipe so I was hoping one of them would have been at the bottom of your post. If you have already posted one for your Friday Foodie posts, please let me know so I can check it out.

How pretty. I love the way you put the tray together. It is just gorgeous. Your sugar bowls used as small tureens is just perfect. What a fabulous idea and such beautiful pieces. Love that idea. Hugs, Marty

Would also LOVE your support on the ELLE DECOR window I did for the Big Window Challenge this year with Apartment Therapy. Check it out at http://www.bigwindowchallenge com. As we all know, AT doesn’t make it easy, but you can vote TWICE a day, once online and the other by texting “1” to 89800.

I adore tablescape Thursdays!What a neat idea to use sugar bowls. Many years ago I missed out on buying some Portuguese soup bowls with tops. I could kick myself for passing them by. Perfect price and they were adorable.

Hi Tammy !You are right, long time no see - I guess we both get so busy !I love this table setting and mini "tureens" are so cute - clever idea....I can hardly wait for spring too !Thanks for visiting !Kammy

Yummmmmmmm, potato soup is my favorite cure-all for anything. It can heal broken hearts to speedy recovery from a cold... and the little covered bowls are just the prettiest ever. It's a wonderful idea to use them as tiny tureens. Happy belated Pink Saturday..have a great week.
